Liberty

From Tales of Madness, Vol.III, by Tom Ball (2010)

    I dreamt I was scaling the statue of liberty and I fell and broke all my bones.
    The quest for liberty is an ongoing concern for many even in the year 2097.
    Freedom was never more hard to reach than now.
    You can’t be free and you don’t want others to be free either.

***


    Then I dreamt I was playing floating soccer on the Moon. It was just a dream inside a dream. While playing I just wanted to impress a certain nameless woman, lady liberty I called her.
    But she said, “It is not a game of freedom, but rather full of rules.”
    And she said, “I like no holds barred types of activity.”
    I said, “Is liberty chaos?”
    She said, “Of course. Nature is random and chaotic.”
    I said, “So to be an anarchist is the most free you can be.”

***


    Then I dreamt I was swimming in an ocean covered by ice. There were mechanical fish and attack sea creatures but I had a protective aura around me... And I was looking for freedom...
    The sea creatures were ruled by “Triton, Lord of the Seas.”
    Triton controlled the sea life with “power wands” and most of the sea creatures could communicate using sign language.
    It was a giant experiment.
    I met Triton and asked him, “what was the point of these seas?”
    He said, “All the sea creatures were free, totally free and didn’t eat meat but rather just neo plankton.”
    And he was the King due to the fact that he was the brightest of the lot.
    And Triton said, “The hardest thing in life is to be free.”
